BlackSky Geospatial Solutions: Enabling timely and relevant insights by helping our customers accelerate their businessWe’re living in the world of big data with tremendous opportunities to gain a deeper understanding about our changing world. We now have access to data from an ever-growing variety of information sources, sensors, satellites, news feeds, social media and more. However, for many, the challenge lies in how to best harness these sources to deliver actionable intelligence and awareness for timely and informed decision-making.

Geospatial Content, Data Collection, and IntegrationWe also offer the ability to collect new geospatial data to augment existing customer data. This is unique to BlackSky Geospatial Solutions because we’re able to source, task, and purchase new satellite imagery directly from BlackSky Spectra, rather than just looking at existing inventory. This emphasis on collecting fresh data enhances a customer’s view of a situation. When there is ambiguity or doubt in an area of interest, tasking a satellite to quickly capture new images usually resolves it.
